So, 'Mistaken Memories of Mediaeval Manhattan' is this intriguing experimental piece from '81, where Brian Eno’s ambient music blends with the ever-changing skyline of Manhattan. The footage is shot in a vertical format—kind of odd, right? You have to turn your screen on its side to appreciate the visuals fully. The atmosphere is dreamlike, almost surreal, as if you're drifting through time. The pacing is slow, meditative, really. It’s less about a narrative and more about the sensations and feelings that arise from the combination of sound and sight. You get this unique juxtaposition of modernity against a backdrop that feels both familiar and distant. Definitely one of those films that you just sort of... experience rather than watch.
